(1) At the 21st session, CCAQ confirmed (1960: CO-ORDINATION/R.325, para. 79) that organizations did not recognize liability to third parties for damage to property or persons resulting from actions of fellowship holders in the course of on-the-job training or otherwise.

(2) At its 23rd session (1962: CO-ORDINATION/R.381, para. 104) CCAQ confirmed that there was no objection in principle to arrangements under which fellows or scholars studying abroad for periods over two years might be granted home leave travel. It was assumed that funds for the purpose were available within the project as approved. The Committee noted, however, that specific financial provision might be requested by some organizations when submitting long-term training project proposals to the Special Fund.

With regard to insurance for fellows, the fellowship officers were requested to draw up proposals on the subject (see section 7.3 for further details).

(6) At its twenty first session (CEB/2011/HLCM/HR/9, paras.65-66), the HR Network agreed to defer the discussion on Senior Fellowship Officers (SFO) proposal on Administrative issues to the Summer session in order for all the details of the Handbook and its legal and financial recommendations to be studied and discussed.
